🙁 Sometimes, keeping the old sites around is still useful as people may prefer the specific interface and it helps keep things familiar. They may also have features that the other product may not have.
Yeah, I’d much rather deal with ads than a paywall myself, especially for a site I will not use often (if it’s used regularly then it’s a bit of a different story depending on the additional features available). In that case, paying a subscription doesn’t make a whole lot of sense 😛
Had something fun come in yesterday: https://boingboing.net/2023/12/18/if-you-have-testes-should-you-ejaculate-more-often-yes-yes-you-should.html
Picked up Hogwarts Legacy a few weeks ago and it’s pretty fun. Combat leaves a little to be desires but the lively game world more than makes up for the game’s various flaws. 🙂
Of course the cover is going on my list to snag 😛
May try to check out the comic, though. Could be fun!
Cool! So we can just consider Star Wars an unofficial adaption of the series. 😛
😀
And a little something for the holidays:
😀 Used to be able to watch The Benny Hill Show on BBC America, wonder where it is now. Will need to find out! Probably BritBox or Acorns TV 😛
Yeah, The Phantom wasn’t really my cup of tea either. I always found that sort of thing did better as a radio broadcast but I may perhaps be a bit old fashioned 😛
Saw April Fool’s Day the other day and that was fun. 🙂
Yeah, I remember how Windows used to overwrite my newer video drivers with some that were several years old. It broke things when it did that! 😛 Fortunately, it seems that Microsoft has fixed that issue 🙂
Sorry for missing this! Know it’s been six weeks but any luck yet?
Speaking of, I need to get my own drivers updated at some point, specifically the video drivers. Been a ton of updates since I got the new system and I haven’t been keeping up. 😛
Let’s hope it helps! There is a plugin available that lets you add snippets to the site so they don’t get lost during a theme update. Might be worth looking at once we get BuddyPress updated (I’ll try to get those threads up this weekend if you don’t beat me to it) 🙂
The city was using a robotic lawnmower yesterday to clean up the roadways and that thing was quiet! Was fun watching it for a few minutes while the guy manipulated the controller 🙂
Power Girl has an interesting cover coming out in February: https://s3.amazonaws.com/comicgeeks/comics/covers/large-4994261.jpg?1700346193
Of course, Batman has a swimsuit issue coming out at the same time. Unlike Kryptonians, Batman would be cold! 😛
Been a big fan of the site for years. It’s a great way to keep track of some of the more obscure films that I like 😀
I only watched the first six episodes or so of La Brea before I gave up on it. Too much just didn’t make sense! For example, the ambulance landed miles away from the portal (how, they never explained) and was still in working order!
Zombieland was great! Great satire, too, regarding zombie flicks and they even make fun of the infinite ammo trope 😛
Forgot about I know what you did last Summer. Need to fix that!
Speaking of British shows, I need to watch Benny Hill again. That was fun! In fact, there are lots of British shows I need to watch. 😛
The science fiction shows they produce are always fabulous, as well. Canada also has a good selection of science fiction. 🙂
Watched A Christmas Story the other day and it was okay but not exactly my cup of tea. Found it a bit slow moving
Yep! 😀
I usually go west since there are a lot fewer people 😛
In terms of quality, I think the East coast has better quality personally. 🙂
The one I went to the other day had interesting facilities. They hadn’t yet rebuilt it from the hurricane a few months ago so the facilities were still in the marshlands, upside down. Pretty hard to use them 😛
As a result, the beach was empty of buildings! Was quite nice 🙂
Yay! 😀 Sometimes get similar things when I need to work with Microsoft’s software (including Windows). After almost 40 years, you’d think they’d have it figured out by now!
I miss hidden secrets in games where you had to perform a very specific set of tasks in order to unlock them. For example: in Super Smash Brothers Melee, you had to finish the adventure course with a certain digit on the clock to unlock Luigi. In Dungeon Siege, you had to have a specific weapon at a certain point in the game to unlock the chicken room. Those were a lot of fun!
I think what we did was turn off the previous plugin in most places but I’m not entirely sure.
Yeah, I think it’s a side-effect of how they function. Granted, I don’t know a whole lot about server stuff 😛
Could be that the caching only affects the index? I think the previous plugin we used had the same behavior
😀
Sounds good! I may be getting a sub to Nature or Science for my birthday, which would be nice as well. 🙂
Yeah, I miss the RSS days. Now it’s too hard to keep up with everything! I’m finding that it’s much easier to follow print than it is to follow the sites. Most stuff on the sites now is too abbreviated for my liking. They used to be a lot more detailed!
Went to the beach the other day to some sightseeing and some industrious fellow decided to build the Giza pyramid complex out of sand, outbuildings and all. You could see where they had started the excavation for the Sphinx but they didn’t get it built. Quite impressive! Really wish I had taken a picture of it. I’m bad about not getting pictures of things 😛
Making some progress on modernizing things. Got a few structure decks the other day but I haven’t really had much opportunity to look through things and determine which singles I need. Still haven’t come up with an organizational standard yet, either 😛
Been playing Blackwings online in Master Duel and they’re quite fun! I try to pull out Full Armor Master early to provide protection while I’m sorting through the opponent’s play style to decide on my next move. If they’re using effect heavy monsters, I pull out Black-Winged Assault Dragons to create a chain reaction of damage! Each time an effect activates, they do 700 points of damage each. In some decks that rely on effect loops, the result is quite devastating! 🙂
BLOOP 😀
No idea! It’s amazing what the atmospheric conditions do to the sound!
And Ganymede!
Space sounds are awesome!
Lovely!
And, in a similar vein, NASA released audio clips of Mars: https://mars.nasa.gov/mars2020/participate/sounds/?playlist=mars&item=mars-helicopter-flying&type=mars 😀
I have two but you can add more if you want greater accuracy or a larger playing area.
I’ve noticed that it doesn’t occur as often if I turn the controller on before the computer. This morning, though, it started crackling while the computer was going through POST so I flipped the controller off and back on again and that got them back up and running again. Will need to do a deep dive!
The lights are for the settings and notification to change the filters but my other purifier has an option to turn off the lights! If they get too annoying, I may just slap some duct tape over them 😛
😀
It’s getting harder and harder to get good science articles in the Google News feed. For some reason, they keep pushing political and social stories on me (I don’t care about whether or not someone farted on a plane (I kid you not, that was an article they thought I’d be interested in)) even though I keep telling them to give me science! This AI trend isn’t all it’s cracked up to be 😛
I’m still hoping to get back to being able to post some articles of interest for us to discuss but it’s hard to get them!
Seems to be a bit more inconsistent when logged out but that should be okay but it’s something we may want to look at further if we ever open the forums up to the public more 🙂
Looks like the timing is set in the TTL tab and under Objects (no idea what Objects are in this context)
Got a couple of Coway Airmega 1512s the other day. They work really well but I do wish I could turn the lights off that they’ve got. As it is, I’ve got blue, green, red, orange, and white lights all over now so the rooms look pretty festive. 😛
